2018 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RK67 BYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical and safety oversight. While it passed the test on 13 March 2026 at 169,806 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior at 14 miles lower mileage. That failure flagged critical issues including an inoperative engine management indicator light, a faulty supplementary restraint system warning lamp, and multiple suspension defects. The presence of these safety-critical faults and electronic failures suggests that the owner only addresses repairs when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 21,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 54,526 miles in just two years, indicating heavy motorway or long-distance use. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain and rubber wear items. The transition from a clean record in March 2023 at 87,242 miles to a string of failures in 2026 shows the vehicle is entering a stage where component fatigue is accelerating. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows recurring wear on anti-roll bar linkage joints and ball joints across 2025 and 2026. The repeated advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit and on edges suggest potential alignment issues or neglected shock absorber health. Furthermore, given the inoperative engine MIL and SRS lamp reported in March 2026, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no fault codes were simply cleared to hide underlying electronic failures. The history of thin brake pads in 2024 also indicates that the braking system may be nearing another service interval given the high mileage.
